Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina will be the keynote speaker at the Franklin County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day dinner to be held at The Orchards Restaurant on Thursday, May 1.

Gowdy has been in the forefront of efforts to rein in the executive overreach of President Barack Obama, and recently introduced H.R. 4138, “The Enforce the Law Act,” according to Dwight Weidman, county chairman.

The act puts a procedure in place to permit the House or the Senate to authorize a lawsuit against the executive branch for failure to faithfully execute the laws.

The House of Representatives passed H.R. 4138 on March 12.

“Gowdy’s passionate speeches on the House floor and his frequent appearances on network and cable news outlets in support of the constitutional separation of powers have made him and instant celebrity with supporters of constitutional government who are extremely concerned with the abuse of power by the current administration,” according to Weidman.

A VIP reception with the Gowdy will begin at 5 p.m. and the dinner program will begin at 6 p.m. Tickets for the dinner program only will be $60 per person with $450 for a table of eight. Tickets for the VIP reception and dinner are $100 per person and $750 for a table of eight. Fully paid Ben Franklin Society members are entitled to two VIP/dinner tickets.
